SNAP! Recap | Highlights

Sorry for the lack of crafting this week but I swear I had a good excuse. I just got back from THE most amazing conference I’ve ever attended! What started out as a small group meetup in Utah has turned into the creative event of the year! Most of the creative blogging community knows about SNAP!, but for you lay people out there, here is my SNAP! recap. I’ll just hit on some of the highlights!!

I have been looking forward to this week since I booked my SNAP! ticket last September! The fabulous Kelly from Live.Laugh.Rowe was my travel partner! We flew into Salt Lake City on Wednesday morning and met up with Abbey from The Cards We Drew and Jenn from Clean and Scentsible. Thankfully, I rented a car and we were able to toodle around SLC. We ate at the Red Iguana {best guac ever!} and went thrifting. Then we headed out to Thanksgiving Point to let the festivities begin!

The Venue

Thanksgiving Point just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah played host to SNAP! again this year. We were lucky enough to be there during their annual Tulip Festival!

Talk about inspiration!

Pajama Party

Jen from Tatertots and Jello was in charge of the big crafty slumber party! She did a great job pulling it all together! {The peanut butter cookies were to die for!} We had a great time crafting, eating, laughing and picture taking.

Snappy Doors

Part of the fun this year was the Snappy Doors contest! Everyone who stayed at the Springhill Suites had the opportunity to decorate their door for a chance to win shop credit at the Queen Bee Market! Here are some of the awesome doors on my floor!

That awesome Instagram door won!!

Queen Bee Market

I often attend craft fairs/shows here in Missouri and they always fail to meet the expectations I set for them in my head. They are mostly filled with Silver Dollar City type crafts. You know the ones I mean – crocheted tea towels and stained glass night lights. {sorry – just being honest} THIS is what I have always expected to see! The organizers and vendors went above AND beyond! Once I spent $100 I had to cut myself off! There was just too many cute things! I could have bought all of it! Thankfully, most of these vendors can be found online. I will slowly let myself accumulate the rest of the goodies I saw.

Snappy Friends

The classes and events were out of this world but my favorite part was meeting so many amazing people! It was like being in college again. We stayed up entirely too late for my old butt. We talked, laughed, and shared. Who knew you could make so many friends so fast? I had the chance to meet up with some of my best bloggy friends face to face and connect with new ones! The people are what make this conference extraordinary – from the team to my roommates.

I wish I could say I came back energized and ready to jump into practicing all of the bloggy things I learned, but I’m exhausted! My poor email has been neglected and comments are waiting to be approved but I wouldn’t trade one second of SNAP! to be caught up! I have tons of great ideas to share with you so stay tuned next week for more!!
